Rochellaine replied to the topic Does This Style Make Any Sense? in the forum Short Story Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@jenwriter17 Hi, thanks for your comments. (I’m assuming it was you.)
I’m planning on editing and finishing the story hopefully in a few days or a week, and then I’ll post the completed version here – I guess for more critique. 🙂
So thanks everyone, and I’ll talk to you about the story in another little while.

I used to print them off the internet and fill them out, but I found I never ever used the stuff I wrote in them, so I’ve designed my own system which I use now and I find very helpful. Personally, writing is super difficult without them!
(I’ve already been to Sunday morning church! I’ll never get used to time zones).

@seekjustice I have only recently been introduced to character charts, and have only ever done one…but it was fun – and a lot of work. 🙂
I am about to be done now, but I think I’ll post my Contemporary Western in Novel Critiques first. (Can’t stay up too late tonight, because tomorrow’s Sunday.)

Hello! I’m totally doing character charts *looks around guiltily* totally not getting distracted by the internet…….

Rochellaine replied to the topic Weird Things People Tell Me 'Cause I'm a Writer in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 7 months ago
@jenwriter17 I totally understand the “I’m not really part of the conversation until my mom mentions I write books” thing. 🙂 I can hear those words from across the house.  Because it’s so common I don’t have as much trouble answering as I used to, though.
Okay, something that my family did because I’m a writer which no one else would do.…[Read more]

@alia The Doctor (Who-fanfic! ;P ) would rather be on the run with an ally she can’t stand. She loves that 😛
@perfectfifths Ohh, that’s a tough one… Maybe, ooh, never have a birthday again

@his-instrument Quoting from my email updates since your post disappeared…
Those are some good names…
Piper is cute, probably my favorite. The only thing is, I think Piper is a character in the Percy Jackson series (though I haven’t read it). Not sure how much popularity that series has right now, or what your goal is for this project, so it m…

Rochellaine replied to the topic Burn the Castles (Story Synopsis/Back Cover copy–Would you read this?) in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 8 years, 7 months ago
@lightningmouse I love vigilantes, so it sounds really interesting to me. (I also love the name Rafe, but that is kind of irrelevant.) 🙂
The synopsis is a little long to put on the back of a book, though I have seen some pretty long book-back synopses. I can’t tell you about saying the same thing in fewer words because I have the tendency to u…[Read more]

@lightningmouse Mm-HMM 😀
What genre is it? The title sounds like fantasy, but the synopsis sounds like modern or something…

@jenwriter17 Heheh, that’s funny 😀
That’s a good idea!
Okay, this isn’t exactly as funny as yours, but one time I was talking to my aunt about writing, using terms like plotting, themes and character arcs. I didn’t know, until she asked, that she had no idea what a “character arc” was. I had assumed everyone knew the answer XD

@valtmy FINALLY SOMEONE WHO HAS SEEN STUDIO GHIBLI!!
Which ones have you seen? I have seen Spirited Away, Totoro, Ponyo, Laputa, The Cat Returns, Porco Rosso, From Up on Poppy Hill, Nausicaa, Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Wind Rises, and Arrietty. Laputa is my favorite.
What’s your favorite part of Spirited Away? I can’t pick a favorite part

Hi, @lightningmouse! I’m glad you’re back! I’m always glad when a long-gone Kapeefer finds his/her way back here 😀
Sounds interesting! So does Rafe want to start a revolution against the government? Is he a part of the government?
I think I would read it 🙂

@kaya-young I love English accents! And yeah, I have found myself speaking like that, too LOL
It’s… a secret project. For now, at least 😉
@rochellaine Cool! Unfortunately she looks nothing like that XD

Rochellaine replied to the topic Character Name Exchange in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 7 months ago
@dekreel I really like Piper because it reminds me of Piper Laurie, who was really cute in the 1950s:
 However, if your character looks nothing like this, don’t worry, because she’s not that well known anymore, and I don’t think anyone would really connect the name. 🙂I like Peri a little, too.

Ooh, a Viking story! 😀

HA!!! Oh my goodness, I love you. *recalls the twenty-two page email chain about RO*
We just went through all the Star Warses (how do you say that plural?) before Last Jedi came out, and… *flails* He really is a dear little grump.
And K-2SO…
“Do you want to know the odds of her using that blaster against you? They’re high. They’re very high.”
We went through all the Star Wars(es? Gollum-speak, maybe…) before TLJ too, except Rogue One since it didn’t HAVE to be seen before TLJ. So we just finally got around to watching it. Caroline and Douglas didn’t really flail over it, which makes me sad. But I have enough flails to make up for it, so *FLAILS*
YES. And him and Cassian.…[Read more]
(Oh, and except the prequels but that goes without saying. ;P)
You know, I’m really ashamed of those two. They just did not inherent good flailing genes. *shakes head sternly* Here’s a flail to join your flail to make up for their lack of flails.

“I thought I told you to stay at the ship!”
“You did, but I thought it was boring.”

It’s sad.

“There were a lot of explosions for two people just blending in.”
INFP, I think.
There’s such variation within the kind…
NO. *vigorous nodding* And I think he’s an INFP too. MUCH variation within the kind. 😛 Did you have any ideas as to what he and Krennic were?
“I will help you, Jyn Erso… Because Cassian says I have to.”
*chokes* INFP? HA! That’s hilarious. I don’t think I would have guessed that for Krennnic. I can see it with Bohdi, though he always hit me as more of an E. Honestly, RO characters are really hard to type. Maybe because we don’t get to know them as well as other movie characters? I…[Read more]
Me either, until Kate elaborated, and then it made more sense. Slightly at least. And I know, especially ’cause Bohdi talks so much! I’ve thought maybe he’s an ENFP, but then he seems so…nervous and almost shy sometimes. I dunno. (But at any rate, I adore his and Galen’s relationship.) I think that’s a safe theory, about RO characters. A good…[Read more]
Awww, I know. They’re relationship was the best, even if there wasn’t very much of it.
I still think he’s an ISTJ… Reminds me of a hardened Horatio, what with being a stickler for rules and following orders and all that stuff. And his ability to compartmentalize death and the horrible things he’s done seems very Thinkerish, in my humble (and…[Read more]
HA! That’s hilarious. (Okay maybe not exactly, but…you get the point.) Poor us. I dunno. It’s always possible…we humans do tend to see things from our own individual viewpoints.

WOW! I was… I was RIGHT???

😂 I know I sent you an article about them. I hadn’t forgotten. *smirk* But it didn’t exactly say everything there was to know about them, thus, it still may have been confusing. But I’m glad it wasn’t!
